"Thanks SkyWestPilot1, at least someone isn't belly-aching. It always amazes me how many people blame their problems, situations, et el on others, vs. taking responsibility for their own actions.

O wise ellen... Sounds like you are "belly-aching" as much as any one else. So SWA has a union right? Looks like they are getting screwed. Same with FedEx, Netjets, oh and UPS.
With all your wisdom, and understanding of cash flow statements, please tell me what prepaid expenses skywest has been spending there money on. How does that increase 117 million, 210,000 thousand in one quarter? (http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/quo...eport=2&freq=1)
Sounds like to me you have more experience on the management side, so please enlighten us.
Just doing an indepth analysis of the company I work for, like you sugessted.
